Accession Data:

Miltonia flavescens (Lindl.) Lindl.

Common Name: Yellowish Miltonia

Family: Orchidaceae Juss.

Country of Origin: Brazil to Argentina (Misiones)

Habitat: epiphytic species

Culture: Grow in intermediate conditions with moderate light during Summer, and more light during Winter. During the growing period, high humidity is essential for successful cultivation (which makes them not so easy to grow in a windowsill). The pot medium should not dry out completely when growing, but sufficient drainage is needed to avoid root rot. At all time mist the plants frequently, if possibly in the morning to mimic the morning dew of the natural habitat. Plants should be potted in a well drain medium such as medium fir bark. 3
